I may be leaving myself open for some flack here, but Bon Jovi's Slippery When wet is such a cool album.
I just received this copy from ebay on Friday, and man its a trip back to the year I turned 13.
The shave was great too. This is only the second shave I've had with the Kropp since re-scaling and re-honing it.
The result was a 2 pass BBS, and it takes a pretty sweet edge to get me there in 2.

Have a great week gentlemen, and thanks for the posts and pics

FDR may have hated war, but who doesn't love the Bomb?


Manaslu M-55 | Thäter Fan | Bomb - Rose/Sandalwood | Chanel Antaeus

The den smelled great when the explosive power of this bomb was released. I've taken to always face lathering lately, but today I broke out a bowl and used it to lather. And the Bomb just shines in this role. The lather that was created was so silky and wonderful. The Thäter tips, which are soft in and of themselves, felt like pure silk as they swept across my face loaded with this lather. And the scent is utterly intoxicating. Pure sandalwood and Turkish Rose oils were used to make this SC, and they lend wonderful attributes to the lather it produces. This is by far my favorite of the Bombs, and the smooth, hydrated feel of my BBS face is the reason why!

Have a great day, gentlemen, and thank you for sharing and allowing me to share!
